WHO Really Discovered America First?
3We've all heard that Christopher Columbus discovered America, but what if the story is more complex? Join me as I dive deep into the mystery of who really discovered America first. Was it the Vikings, led by Leif Erikson, who landed in Canada 500 years before Columbus? Or perhaps indigenous peoples who lived here for thousands of years before European explorers arrived? What about claims from Chinese and African explorers who might have reached the Americas?
Together, we’ll explore archaeological evidence, ancient texts, and conflicting records to uncover the many layers of this story. This isn't just about who arrived first, but about recognizing the multiple cultures and perspectives that shape our history. Join me on this journey as we question what “discovery” really means and seek to uncover the hidden truths behind one of history's most enduring mysteries.
